So Rosie and I where having a conversation about our goals for our homestead. One idea we are make a run at is to avoid the grocery store for a year, with a few exceptions. We are in the wrong climate to grow coffee and I am unwilling to put Rosie threw a year of me with no coffee, there are probably a few other exceptions we will need to make that we do not see yet.
We will not be able to start this effort for a little while now, we need to get our garden in order and producing better then it currently is. That will mean grains for bread and animal food, veggies and fruit for us to eat (and enough variety to keep us healthy and happy). We will also need to wait for either a cow or a goat to get milk from (Rosie the goat is still too young). Also we will need to wait and kill at least one Pig of Evil to provide protein, supplemented with the occasional chicken/goose/turkey/other. We also really like tofu and are not sure if we can realistically grow our own soybeans to make tofu out of, ditto for rice.
Is it possiable? We don't know, but it should be amusing to find out.
